A robot module needs an interface contract.

A body concept becomes clearer when its inputs and outputs are specified.

The question

FIRSTMAN's humanoid artwork and interactive mind organize a robotics concept. A future physical module needs more than a name: define what information it receives, what commands it accepts and how it reports a fault.

How it relates to SKIENET

For a non-weapon task such as sorting objects, a simulated gripper contract might include object size, a requested action and a stop condition. These are planning examples, not implemented FIRSTMAN hardware features.

An experiment to try

Write a table of normal input, invalid input and the expected safe response. Have a second person review the assumptions before choosing actuators. An ambiguous interface can hide a safety problem until hardware is involved.

Limits and next steps

Research participation retains its existing license checks. Public artwork does not provide private contribution access. Physical development would also need power limits, mechanical specifications, human supervision and independent safety testing.
